You can try to search for the www.philtranco.com.ph website bus service schedule and scroll down to the south bound schudule . For some reason there website keeps crashing so here is PHILTRANCO’S PHONE NUMBERS – Cubao (02)722-7567 , Pasay (02) 851-5420 , Daet (054)721-4350 . Or try there facebook here Philtranco

AC means air conditioned bus GS is the gold service and NAC is not air con normally referred to as the ordinary bus , be warned it can get very cold on the AC and GS !

The pasay bus service is nearer the airport and is safe to sit and wait for a few hours and is open 24hrs , theres also a jolliebee and other foods and snacks to be had there .

Airconditioned buses are like European National Express coaches or like greyhound buses with the Philtranco gold service being the most comfortable and it has a toilet onboard also .

For the smokers amongst you dont worry you will be able to have a quick fag every 2 hours or so , or take the ordinary bus , with livestock etc and smoke as much as you want , but be warned they are a lot slower .

Another thing to consider is to put your bag/suitcases inside at the back instead of in the hold , just in case of theft or flooding !!

The Best Way To Get To Daet From Manila Is To Drive

Driving to daet is the best way , either by own car or by hired van service. Just follow the Maharlika Highway south , theres only a couple of places to take a wrong turn , but your realise straight away .

The distance from Manila to Daet is 370 km to drive and is best shared with another driver . Fill up at the gas station at Gumaca and swap drivers , also watch out and slow down for the train tracks here !

We normally have a break at Gumaca opposite the sea which is roughly halfway , and also up in the mountain in the national park , for some great photo opportunities with wonderful views and scenery .

The journey is long but enjoyable and your be pleased you came from Manila to Daet
